1930s Chiltern Country

In 2005, as part of the activities to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the designation of the Chilterns as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Chilterns Conservation Board commissioned the Chiltern Society PhotoGroup to re-take 1930s’ photographs that were published in H J Massingham’s book Chiltern Country. The aim was to show what has changed, and what hasn’t, in the last 75 years.
